Appeal for volunteers to help save damaged Bloxwich trees

Further to The Bloxwich Telegraph’s recent report about the shocking vandalism to trees in the Promenade Gardens off Bloxwich High Street, a story which will be followed up shortly, Bloxwich Town Centre Management and Bloxwich Business Partnership are appealing to local people for help in saving and protecting these trees from further vandalism.

Nikki Rolls, Walsall Council’s Bloxwich Regeneration Officer, has spoken to The Bloxwich Telegraph in the hope that residents and traders will come forward to join forces is assisting in the necessary work, which is scheduled for this Thursday.

Nikki told us:

“The Council’s urban forestry team has arranged a volunteers day to shield the worst damaged and other trees by installing bamboo fencing around the trees this Thursday from 10.30am.

“We need your help – if you are able to volunteer some time to help us protect these trees please meet us at 10.30 by the Bloxwich Fountain on Thursday.”

All equipment is being provided for use during the day, and volunteers need not be tree experts or botanists – just willing to do a little work to help save an important part of the green and leafy environment and historic heritage of Bloxwich.

If you need further information, you can telephone Nikki on 01922 654324.

EDITORIAL

The Bloxwich Telegraph is THE online news magazine for Bloxwich and district.

It has its origins in the scurrilous Victorian newssheet The Bloxidge Tallygraph. The website of the same name first appeared online in Summer 2006; that site was succeeded in turn by the present Bloxwich Telegraph several years later.

This site now incorporates much of the content of the original Bloxidge Tallygraph site as well as hundreds of more recent posts and pages.

We primarily focus on Bloxwich, Little Bloxwich, Blakenall Heath, Leamore and Birchills, England. Our social media arm, Walsall North News, in addition aims to cover the Willenhall and Short Heath area and relays locally relevant news links from Walsall borough and beyond. We are currently considering a move to add news of Willenhall and district to this site.

EVOLVING

Currently, this site is evolving and this will take time to achieve, so please bear with us as things change and are restructured.

The Bloxwich Telegraph includes a number of local history and heritage articles, some of which are currently being reformatted. Historic images included therein are, unless otherwise indicated, used by kind permission of Walsall Local History Centre.
